Definitions

  • the present invention describes novel nitrosated and/or nitrosylated cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitors and novel compositions comprising at least one nitrosated and/or nitrosylated cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitor, and, optionally, at least one compound that donates, transfers or releases nitric oxide, stimulates endogenous synthesis of nitric oxide, elevates endogenous levels of endothelium-derived relaxing factor or is a substrate for nitric oxide synthase, and/or at least one therapeutic agent.
  • the present invention also provides novel compositions comprising at least one COX-2 inhibitor.
  • the present invention also provides methods for treating inflammation, pain and fever; for treating and/or improving the gastrointestinal properties of COX-2 inhibitors; for facilitating wound healing; for treating and/or preventing renal toxicity; and for treating and/or preventing other disorders resulting from elevated levels of cyclooxygenase-2.
  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory compounds are widely used for the treatment of pain, inflammation, and acute and chronic inflammatory disorders such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. These compounds inhibit the activity of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), also known as prostaglandin G/H synthase, which is the enzyme that converts arachidonic acid into prostanoids.
  • COX cyclooxygenase
  • the NSAIDs also inhibit the production of other prostaglandins, especially prostaglandin G 2 , prostaglandin H 2 and prostaglandin E 2 , thereby reducing the prostaglandin-induced pain and swelling associated with the inflammation process.
  • the chronic use of NSAIDs has been associated with adverse effects, such as gastrointestinal ulceration and renal toxicity. The undesirable side effects are also due to the inhibition of prostaglandin in the affected organ.
  • Selective COX-2 inhibitors are disclosed in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,681,842, 5,750,558, 5,756,531, 5,776,984 and in WO 97/41100, WO 98/39330, WO 99/10331, WO 99/10332 and WO 00/24719 assigned to Abbott Laboratories; and in WO 98/50075, WO 00/29022 and WO 00/29023 assigned to Algos Pharmaceutical Corporation; and in WO 99/15205 assigned to Almirall Prodesfarma S.A.; and in U.S. Pat. No. 5,980,905 assigned to AMBI Inc.; and in U.S. Pat. No.
  • COX-2 inhibitor compounds that have gastroprotective properties, facilitate wound healing, decreased renal toxicity and dyspepsia, and that can be used at low dosages.
  • the present invention is directed to these, as well as other, important ends.
  • the present invention provides novel nitrosated and/or nitrosylated COX-2 inhibitors, which are COX-2 inhibitors linked to at least one nitrogen monoxide group (NO), and/or at least one nitrogen dioxide group (NO 2 ) (i.e., nitrosylated and/or nitrosated group, respectively).
  • the resulting compounds are potent analgesics, have antiinflammatory properties and have an unexpected potential for facilitating wound healing.
  • the novel compounds also have unexpected properties in the treatment and/or prevention of renal toxicity.
  • the COX-2 inhibitors can be nitrosated and/or nitrosylated through one or more sites, such as oxygen (hydroxyl condensation), sulfur (sulfhydryl condensation) and/or nitrogen.
  • the COX-2 inhibitor can be, for example, a sulfonamide containing 1,5-diarylpyrazole derivative, such as, for example, CELEBREX® (4-(5-(4methylphenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzenesulfonamide, Celecoxib).
  • the COX-2 inhibitor can also be, for example, a methylsulfonylphenyl-furanone derivative, such as, for example, Rofecoxib (VIOXX®, 4-(4′-methylsulfonylphenyl)-3-phenyl-2-(5H)-furanone).
  • the present invention also provides compositions comprising such compounds in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
  • the present invention is also based on the discovery that administering at least one nitrosated and/or nitrosylated COX-2 inhibitor and at least one nitric oxide donor reduces the gastrointestinal distress induced by COX-2 inhibitors.
  • a nitric oxide donor is a compound that contains a nitric oxide moiety and which releases or chemically transfers nitric oxide to another molecule.
  • Nitric oxide donors include, for example, S-nitrosothiols, nitrites, nitrates, N-oxo-N-nitrosamines, and substrates of the various isozymes of nitric oxide synthase.
  • compositions comprising at least one COX-2 inhibitor that is substituted with at least one NO and/or NO 2 group (i.e., nitrosylated and/or nitrosated), and at least one compound that donates, transfers or releases nitric oxide as a charged species, i.e., nitrosonium (NO + ) or nitroxyl (NO ⁇ ), or as the neutral species, nitric oxide (NO•), and/or stimulates endogenous production of nitric oxide or EDRF in vivo and/or is a substrate for nitric oxide synthase.
  • NO and/or NO 2 group i.e., nitrosylated and/or nitrosated
  • compositions comprising at least one COX-2 inhibitor that is substituted with at least one NO and/or NO 2 group (i.e., nitrosylated and/or nitrosated), and, optionally, at least one compound that donates, transfers or releases nitric oxide as a charged species, i.e., nitrosonium (NO + ) or nitroxyl (NO ⁇ ), or as the neutral species, nitric oxide (NO•), and/or stimulates endogenous production of nitric oxide or EDRF in vivo and/or is a substrate for nitric oxide synthase, and, optionally, at least one therapeutic agent, including but not limited to, steroids, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory compounds (NSAID), 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) inhibitors, leukotriene B 4 (LTB 4 ) receptor antagonists, leukotriene A 4 (LTA 4 ) hydrolase inhibitors, 5-HT agonists, HMG CoA inhibitors, H 2 antagonist
